Valhalla Is Back! | Blackpool Pleasure Beach Launch Event | My First Ride & Thoughts | 10th May 2023 

Thanks Sandra, I really appreciate your kindness. Funnily enough I thought of you yesterday when I crossed the road (tram tracks) to look at the Sea before I drove home - I remember us taking about it years ago.

@@TD3Vlogs yes good old Corrie,Rita is still on the show.

It's brilliant that her and William Roche who plays Ken are still going strong

I honestly don't know how you guys all talk so naturally to a camera. I was like a do doing a you know what at the start and was practically whimpering for Steph to rescue me 🙈😂 Thanks for watching 😊

Thanks Morag, I appreciate that. We are looking at visiting the Sunny (hopefully) Netherlands in August if we can make it work and to finally get to Efteling. We are planning 2 days in the park - would that be enough to get everything done? Thanks again and happy Sunday 😊

@@TD3Vlogs Hi, I hope you had a great weekend. Efteling is a huge park and unfortunately in August it can get very busy. Which dates are you looking at ? As here in the NL we split the summer holidays over 3 different start dates. We live in the middle of the NL so we are first to start holidays on 7th July and go back 20 August. So after 29 August it will be a little quieter at the park. Two days, you could do it. If you plan and ride maybe symbolica first then also flying dutchman and filling in your time with the fairytale forest . Where are you planning on staying ? Also, toverland would take maybe just over an hour from efteling and its amazing. Their expansion ideas will make it bigger than the efteling over the next few years. I'm happy to help with any info you need and also if you need discount codes for the tickets, I can get you them. Have a great week and happy weekend :)

We are actually looking at the 29th August for two days and then one full day in Amsterdam. We have looked at the Efteling Hotel to get the tickets included. Thank you for the advice 😊

Oh wow that's perfect timing, as we go back 20 August and the South go back 27 August. So it's only the North of the NL on holiday, so it will be much quieter! The hotel is beautiful, we have stayed twice. Once in a themed room and the other in just a normal room and both were great. You will have a great time and having a day in Amsterdam would finish it all off perfectly! The Nam kee is the be Chinese in China Town! My boys love it! Have fun and thank you for always uploading fantastic and honest vligs, we love them! Noah is also loving all the new words you use :)

Cheers Ian. I'm still shocked at how good it is. World Class 👌

We've always wanted too and I remember us being there on a roasting day and it was shut because the water board were telling people to conserve water 🙈😂 I was glad of my waterproofs today for sure lol

Thank you but I think I'll leave Steph to it in future 😂👍

Thanks Ellen. I really appreciate that but I won't be making it a regular occurence 😂 Thanks again

Thank you Caz. Appreciate that. The ride is Incredible!!!

Classic 😂 I had heard how wet you got on it but thought it was an exaggeration! Really glad its brought back some memories and hopefully you can get back and try it again soon. Thanks very much for watching 👍👍👍

It's phenomenal. I'm certain that they'd love it as would you two. You could go to Pasaje del Terror there was well - It's supposed to be terrifying (more than anything at HHN) and open all year round. I've never had the courage to do it yet! Looking forward to the Florida vlogs 🙌

😂😂😂 Curse: Leaves chat

I'd definitely recommend getting back on a term time midweek day if you can - everything was a walk on including Valahalla and the big coasters.

No way! Amanda Thompson mentioned him by name a few times when she spoke but he was apparently in the station avoiding the spotlight and praise. Done a spectacular job. I still cant believe how good it is. Hope you and my fave Boy in blue are both ok ❤️

@@TD3Vlogs we’re not doing too bad thanks Jim, been a stressful couple of months as my mum had a stroke so I’ve been up and down to London a lot. 😴

I'm so sorry to hear that and hope she is doing better now. Sending our love ❤️

Cheers Crystal, very much appreciated as I was very nervous flying solo. It's a spectacular ride and drop. It reminds me of a cross between Dudley Doo and The Mummy at Universal. So good 😊

Thanks Caroline. I'll leave them to Steph in future though 😂

I won't be going rogue again in a hurry 😂 Thanks for watching Sam & totally agree - ponchos in Orlando is a big no no from me👍

I'm going to squeeze in to a wetsuit or mankini next time 🙈😂 Thanks for watching guys 👍👍👍

Perhaps best not to film the mankini

Fair 😂😂😂

Have a brilliant time Donna. I'd love to hear what you think of it. You're in for a treat 😎

I prefer offering the odd sarcastic comment in the back ground to be honest mate. It's either that or go commando 😂 Cheers for watching squire.

Brought the poncho home to persuade Steph to do some water rides this season 😉 Thanks for watching Sarah. I appreciate it. TD1 🤣

Thanks Jenny. I won't be let loose again in a hurry 😂 I can't believe how wet it gets people. Great fun 👍👍👍

Thanks Mark, appreciate that but some people have reported splinters after watching the vlog 😂 Yes, I got to say hello to them which was nice 👍

Thanks for watching, it's a reallly impressive ride 👍👍👍

It's difficult for me to comment having not been on it before but it's definitely world class and easily one of the best rides in the UK

I don't think I'll be doing too many haha. It was far to nerve wracking! Thanks for watching 😊

@@TD3Vlogs I noticed that in the start but once you got over that first part of the vlog u done great so should definitely try it again. I will always watch I think you guys are great ❤️

I really appreciate that. Means a lot 😊👍👍👍

Thanks very much for watching - I really appreciate it and I can only apologise for the absence of Steph and Jimmy 😂👍👍👍

@@TD3Vlogs I didn't realise that it was just you 🙈 I would of said where's despicable two and three 🤣 you need to get t-shirts made 👌

Steph agreed to let me loose. I don't think I'll fly solo again though 😂

@@TD3Vlogs 👌🤣 you did very well 😁 your a pro 👍 but must admit really not the same with out the who fam 🥰

I'd have loved to have had Steph and Jimmy with me but they went and put work and school first 😉😂

You too Scott and nice to see a familiar face. Thanks for being welcoming as always mate and enjoy your trip this weekend 🦇

Good spot. I said a quick hello yesterday. You really cant fault them - they are living the absolute dream. Fair play 👍👍👍

Cheers Joe. It's a terrific ride 👌

@@TD3Vlogs I'll see if I can go one day

Have you rode it previously Mike? I seem to think you have but not 100% sure. Cheers for watching mate.

@@TD3Vlogs yes I have a few years ago 😊

You must nearly be dry by now then bud 😉😂

@@TD3Vlogs 😂😂

Thank you Sarah, really appreciate it. I won't be making a habit of it in future 😂

Hi Barbara- we are back there as a family at the beginning of June as its the lads birthdays and we will be doing a fully vlog. Thanks for watching and have a restful Sunday ❤️

Hi Ryan. We did it as family a couple of weeks after opening. I've (Jim) been back on my own a fortnight ago and it has definitely improved. Great ride.

I don't recall it saying that mate (famous last words)

@@TD3Vlogs People saying it's gone 🥲🥲

Hi, I would imagine they dry off pretty quickly and then just shove it in a rucksack or alternatively leave the park and pop it in your car and go back in (they allow re entry).

​@@TD3Vlogs I'd go by train. Do they have lockers?

Yes 👍

😂😂😂 you fibbers! That's like being hit by a wall of water. I bet you were popular in your house haha

@@TD3Vlogs 😂😂 yep- we were camping at the time & had to travel around 2hrs back in the car to Brighton soaking wet 🫣🫣

Nightmare 😂😂😂

I was tired of waiting in the shadows and wanted to have a voice 😉😂 Come back Steph... all is forgiven haha. Thanks for watching G

Ha ha u did a great job xx

Thank you. The cheque is in the post 😂

It's definitely worth doing next time you are there. Its beautifully done and definitely one of my favourites now. Thank you very much for watching 😊👍👍👍

I can't help but think how amazing it would be on a hot summers day although looking out of the window this morning, that seems a long way off 😂 Thanks very much for watching 👍👍

Thank you. Its definitely a Pluto style soaking but it's bloody brilliant 👌

Honest Susan - it's brilliant and well worth a visit to experience it. It would be handy being so close to home if you did it as a last ride of the day. You could be home and dry with a cuppa in no time 😊

Thanks Kris. Appreciate that. We were at Pleasure Beach on Friday and there will be a vlog of that at 18:00 today 🎢👍

It will be taking pride of place somewhere 😂 Steph was laughing at me being a loner on the boat too. I prefer to think of myself being the captain 😉

Thanks mate. Don't think I'll be doing many 😂👍

Make a weekend of it. It's Blackpool so there will be a Robbie tribute act going on somewhere 😉😂

Thanks Lyn and so did I ❤️

Thanks a lot G. You're gonna love it mate. Its incredible inside and the promo vid does it more justice than my ramblings. Just remember to take a snorkel mate 😂 Hope you and Laura are happy and well old bud

Hi Julie and thank you. I definitely prefer Steph being in charge of the camera as I get far too nervous on my own. I definitely over shared about my undercrackers lol. I did vlog the rest of my day but not sure if that will ever make it out of the archives 😂😂😂

Yes you’ve got to share that vlog with us! Get Steph to do a poll to see how many would like to see it lol 😂❤️xx

Probably be One vote for 😂😂😂 Thanks for being so kind

❤️

Thanks for watching Eugene. Really appreciate it mate 👍👍👍

Cheers Kris, I won't be making a habit of it. Definitely handing the camera back to Steph 😂 Appreciate you watching 👍👍👍

Hi Donna. Don't worry - you only missed me so I'd take that as a win. Have a brilliant time and take some spare clothes if you're braving Valhalla 😂👍👍👍

Great solo vlog jimbo 🙌🏼 never ridden Valhalla, so will need to make a trip up at some point to experience a soaking

Just remember waterproof trousers of a change of underwear 😂 Thanks guys. Appreciated 👍👍👍

Thanks buddy. I don't know about you but I still dream of a Goonies ride or water slide in a park somewhere ☠️ Thanks for watching 👍👍👍

Thanks mate. I got splinters watching it back I'm that wooden 😂 Hope you are all having a brilliant time out there 😎

@@TD3Vlogs 🤣😂 we thought it was fab mate, We are having an amazing time thanks, don’t want to come back, we even tried vlogging ourselves so we’d have memories but I don’t think they would ever be public as if you thought this one of yours was bad then you would be crying with laughter at these 😂🤣

I don't know who people do it mate. As soon as I catch someone in sight I go to bits! At least you'll have it to look back on. I filmed the rest of my day hit suspect it will be locked in a Hex like Vault too 😂 Enjoy every minute buddy.
